What’s your story?

I was born and raised in Guildford, Surrey but I now live in London. I sandwiched these two homes with a 6 month stint in Latin America which was an incredible experience. After university, I went into the motor trade and have been in it ever since, working in both the motorcycle and the car industry.

What is your favourite motorcycle?

For a Yamaha, the beautiful XSR900 in garage metal. Otherwise, Honda SP2 which I will now never be able to afford!

How long have you been in the industry?

I have been in the motorcycle trade for around 10 years with 3 years in the car industry in between.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I like to run and have completed the London Marathon a couple of times. I’m also booked to run it again next year. Otherwise, my favourite two things are food and travel, ideally in some kind of combination!

The bike I own! 2017 Yamaha MT-09. So far I have had it just under a year and I love it. Fantastic bike!

I have been working with bikes for 3 years now.

What do you like to do in your free time?

If it’s dry, I’ll be on my MT-09. I enjoy rock climbing. Travelling when I can and when I haven’t spent all my money on bike parts! Soon with more training, I hope to take short breaks to travel to some of the best climbing spots. I plan to ride to most of them.
